FOUND: 1X AWESOME VENUE


We drove out to the Midlands on Saturday to scout out the venue for the LDC (Love Declaration Celebration). A couple of gravel roads and one flat tyre later, we arrived at Mount Park. What a spot! Wow, it’s absolutely beautiful. Check out the photo for a little taste of what to expect.

Think big old farmhouse nestled against a mountain, with a sweeping view across the Midlands, a dinky little trout fishing dam (which can be used for swimming if you don’t mind swimming with the fishies) and rolling green lawns with English country garden style flowers and flutterbyes.

In addition to the 18 beds in the main house, there’s a collection of cottages and cabins with a further 18 beds. Those of you with lighties will most definitely be housed in the accommodation, and for the rest of you it will be dished out on a first-come-first-served basis. For those of you not accommodated in the quaint quarters, there is a beautiful meadow covered in luscious lawn in which to camp, with ample ablution facilities.

Central to all of this is a thatched bar area with a deck looking out to the great blue yonder which will no doubt be the hub of the festivities. And for those of you who might be feeling active there are walks to be had on the mountain behind the farm.

So are you excited yet? I am…..!
